bpf: Fix ringbuf memory type confusion when passing to helpers
The bpf_ringbuf_submit() and bpf_ringbuf_discard() have ARG_PTR_TO_ALLOC_MEM
in their bpf_func_proto definition as their first argument, and thus both expect
the result from a prior bpf_ringbuf_reserve() call which has a return type of
RET_PTR_TO_ALLOC_MEM_OR_NULL.
While the non-NULL memory from bpf_ringbuf_reserve() can be passed to other
helpers, the two sinks (bpf_ringbuf_submit(), bpf_ringbuf_discard()) right now
only enforce a register type of PTR_TO_MEM.
This can lead to potential type confusion since it would allow other PTR_TO_MEM
memory to be passed into the two sinks which did not come from bpf_ringbuf_reserve().
Add a new MEM_ALLOC composable type attribute for PTR_TO_MEM, and enforce that:
- bpf_ringbuf_reserve() returns NULL or PTR_TO_MEM | MEM_ALLOC
- bpf_ringbuf_submit() and bpf_ringbuf_discard() only take PTR_TO_MEM | MEM_ALLOC
but not plain PTR_TO_MEM arguments via ARG_PTR_TO_ALLOC_MEM
- however, other helpers might treat PTR_TO_MEM | MEM_ALLOC as plain PTR_TO_MEM
to populate the memory area when they use ARG_PTR_TO_{UNINIT_,}MEM in their
func proto description
